Hold the door open for the person behind you. It only takes a second to not slam the door in someone else’s face. Similarly, if you're on an elevator, and someone is approaching, hit the door open button. That's the one with a picture of two arrows facing away from each other. Pushing it means that the person running toward you, waving his hands, can actually get on the elevator, too. Pushing that button will delay you approximately 30 seconds. However, frantically jabbing the "door close" button can delay the other person by anywhere from 1 minute to half an hour, depending on where you are and how many elevators are in the building. Don't ruin someone else's day. Just wait 30 seconds.
Also, if the person running toward you sees you hitting that button, he'll know you're an asshole. If you were headed to a job interview, you better hope that wasn't the interviewer.
